Yahoo! News - E-Mail Boosts Calls to Probe Halliburton, Cheney

Did someone from the DNC read my earlier Blog?? Highly unlikely, but I'm still pretty happy about this development. With a story coming up in Time, enough coverage will be given, and an inquiry is bound to ensue. My guess is that no matter what the outcome, Mr. VP will undoubtedly, in the same vein as this administration with anything else negative, will not take any responsibility whatsoever.

Cheney's office denied over the weekend that it had any role in the Halliburton contracts, and a senior adviser to the Bush-Cheney campaign, Mary Matalin, repeated this on Tuesday.

Pentagon spokesman Larry DiRita noted that there had been congressional hearings on rebuilding Iraq which included discussions of reconstruction contracts.
He said the Pentagon e-mail was discussing how to announce a decision made months earlier to give Halliburton the no-bid contract, and that Cheney had no involvement in the decision.

I don't believe a word of it.
